Stylus Use ?

Sometimes it is frustrating using my finger on some web pages and embedded llinks in e-mail. I saw a stylus with a breast pocket clip and ordered it. Unfortunately it does not work. So can I conclude that one must be a warm blooded mammal to use the droid ?

The one I ordered and am returning was billed as compatible with the Droid, but it ain't. So someone is just ASSUMING it will work when it fact it does not. Guess I will have to work on my manual dexterity...

What stylus did you order, and from where? Do you have a link or manufacturer that you can share in order to save others, including myself, some grief?

There is no stylus that will work on the droid the screen isnt we will say "stylus compatible" since its a glass screen and responds to the touch of a finger yes warm blooded male/female as stated above. plus its a glass screen you ever seen a stylus used on glass before?

I don't know about that... just because something hasn't been done yet, or hasn't been widely publicized doesn't mean it's impossible...

Thanks for the input. I have been researching the Ten One POGO. Just ordered one. It reportedly works fine on the iPhone. Expect it will on DROID too. Great if so. My fingers have a tough time with the onscreen keyboard and with a number of the games.

Update: I got my POGO Sketch and I am finding the POGO Sketch to be really handy on the virtual keyboard. Now if the FITALY folks would just port (?) their screen to Droid, we would be in business. (You may need to talk with some PALM users to really appreciate FITALY)

Edit: Although he does go on do say that while it's not something he'd recommend for gaming, it does an OK job on the virtual keyboard. All in all, it seems to be more or less a proof of concept for now; it can be done and used, it's just not perfect.

Well the POGO stylus WORKS ! I have just received it and it does indeed function. It takes some getting used to since it is NOT a pointy stylus but has a blunt point with some kind of "bumpy" cloth at the end. But it does function properly. Never say never !

Excellent, that's great to hear!

I'm wondering if it will work through a screen protector, particularly the privacy one. Do you have a screen protector installed, or are you using the stylus directly on the glass?

Lol. Lately my fingers have gotten so cold that I couldn't tap on things and it is really hard to do with gloves on.
